Cada poeta és ell

Cada poeta és ell, published in December 2011, contains, in addition to the transcription and the translation to Spanish of nineteen poems by J. V. Foix and two comments about Miró and Dalí, an appendix that includes five sonnets and one text, edited by Ramon Salvo Torres, and an introductory study by the same author.

No pesquis mai amb els ormeigs d’un altre

No pesquis mai amb els ormeigs d’un altre, published in December 2009, contains, in addition to the transcription and the translation to Spanish (done by Enrique Badosa and José Corredor-Mateos) of texts by Foix, an appendix that includes nine new telepoems, edited by Ramon Salvo Torres, and an introductory study by the same author.

The origin of the recordings is mainly due to the American Hispanicist and Catalanophile Patricia J. Boehne, who, in the summers of the years 1974 and 1977, visited the poet in Port de la Selva.

She, as director of North American Catalan Society, and together with some others Catalanophiles, as David Rosenthal, has promoted the candidature of poet Foix to Nobel Prize.

Therefore, this book is a tribute to Patricia J. Boehne, the English translator of part of the work by Foix, which so much has contributed to spread the knowledge of Foix in the Anglo-Saxon world.

Onze Nadals i un Cap d’Any

In Onze Nadals i un Cap d’Any, published in 1960, J.V. Foix gathered together the poems that he had been sending his friends for Christmas between 1948 and 1958.

In the original poems, each one is accompanied by an illustration rendered by Foix’s friends just for the occasion, all of them renowned artists such as Dalí, Mompou, Ponç, Guinovart, Obiols, Cuixart, Tàpies, Mercader, Sunyer, Galí, Fenosa and Miró.

In this book that was just published, the poems appear for the first time with these illustrations. Furthermore, the music group Poetristas, made up of Albert Vila, Marc Serrats and Francesc Ribera “Titot”, have put these compositions to music, yet another step in the appropriation of works by authors and on behalf of popular culture. The book was published jointly by Eumo Editorial, Propaganda pel Fet and the Fundació J.V. Foix

Every year since 2000, the Fundació J. V. Foix, in conjunction with the Edicions 62 publishing house, has published a book edited by Jordi Cornudella, with a CD included in order to share the Foundation’s phonographic collection that preserves the poet’s voice. The titles that have been released to date are:

Likewise, in 2008 the Foundation, in conjunction with Eumogràfic publishing house from the Universitat de Vic and Propaganda pel Fet, published the book Onze Nadals i un cap d’any, accompanied by a CD with the poems set to music by the group Poetristes de Vic, as well as the drawings that originally accompanied each of these poems.
